    98 Power Steering Problem...

    This just goes to show you just how much rubbish dealers come out with. They obviously did not diagnose the fault properly. If the shaft was broken, you probably wouldn't have any steering at all. Sometimes I just hate the dealers!!! Cheers Dazza

    two crashes due to repeated dysfunction of the acceleration system

    Same here. I've never known any car that can drive beyond it's brakes. Especially from accelerating from standstill. If the front wheels were on loose gravel and the rears were on tarmac I could understand the car pushing through the brakes. But otherwise, I am not sure. I don't know...

    The Sweet Spot- Shifting Inquiry

    Evolution, That's exactly what I meant. That's why I suggested pulling away from rest without any use of the gas pedal whatsoever... therefore no balancing of pedals at all. But used in a different context, it could be said that you are "balancing" engine speed with the clutch. Then I...

    The Sweet Spot- Shifting Inquiry

    Clutch Control... Hi All, I thought I would offer my advice as regarding clutch control. Being that I am UK based, I learned to drive in a manual, and have driven manual cars ever since, I've owned two automatic cars in that time. Probably about 90% of all cars sold in the UK come with...

    Just a question

    The C6 gearbox is a revised model! The new gearbox has a new designation and sports a different stronger design.

    The owner of the C6 photos speaks out.

    The lights... I don't like the body coloured light surrounds. I think they would look better in matt black with more jewel like projector light surrounds. In it's current format, the light look "cheap". Cheers Dazza

    Latest Bodywork Pics...

    I know everyone is pretty excited over the new "bodywork only" pictures that we have just seen. But I have found some interesting information about the photo's... The pictures themselves have been posted in their native "digital camera" format. If you save each picture to your computer and...

    More PhotoShopped Images

    I hope not!!! As far as I'm concerned, I think those two 'chops are very ugly pictures of what the car might look like. So far, the best one's i liked were the Euro guesses of what the car looked like. That looked awesome.

    Where does the extra inch go?

    Hi, I want to replace the standard wheels on a C5 Corvette. I've found a wheel manufacturing company that will make wheels for my car in whatever size I require and to my design if I so wish. I've found that one of their existing designs suit me fine. But, I want to have an aftermarket...

    BKUPER's latest C6 3/4 rear view

    Back to sharp! I reckon the rear is all wrong. It's too sharp and too square. I think the rear of the car will have more overhang (not as much as C5, but more than bkupers photoshop), and will definately be more rounded. See the rear edge shape of the gas door for an idea of the shape of...

    New Black C6 from a Euro site ...

    Rear too sharp? Budweisert, I'm not so sure about the way you've cut the rear of the car off on your picture. I think the rear of the car (as viewed from the side) is shaped exactly as you see the camo'd car. Two reasons... 1. Crash Protection. The new Ford GT40 has had to have bumpers...

    C6 Headlight photo

    Yuk! If that's the C6's headlights, then eeeugh!!! They look absolutely horrible. WAY, WAY to rounded for my tastes. How many times do we have to say this, a Corvette is supposed to look AGGRESSIVE!!! Round light's are way to cute looking. If the C6 ends up looking like this, I will pass...

    Info on the Zo6 engine

    Technology Angle... Nope! Can't agree with the "technology" angle on this one. I'd rather they go for bigger displacement in a simpler engine design rather than bump up the technology involved. Technology = cost. Keep it simple, because if it breaks, it won't cost too much to fix. An...

    [CONCEPT] 9/14/2003 - C6 Vert'

    Disappointed... now way! I think this Euro magazine's rendition of the next Corvette is the best I've seen. I was all against non pop-up lights when I first heard about fixed lamps. But if the car looked like this, I would say the C6 is going to be a total winner!!!! In fact, I would go as...
